ANSONIA – An FBI agent took the witness stand Thursday (April 10) and presented cell phone records that police have said tie Jose Morales to the scene of Christine Holloway’s murder in 2019.
David Carney, a special agent with the FBI’s cellular analysis survey team, walked jurors through a timeline of cellular data from Morales’ and Holloway’s phones. The timeline presented appears to show the two phones together, at locations including a Wallingford car dealership and the Myrtle Avenue crime scene, in the days surrounding Holloway’s death.
Morales, 48, is charged with murder in connection to Holloway’s death in December 2019. Vanessa Morales, the then-one-year-old daughter of Morales and Holloway, has been missing ever since.
